Free at last in Virginia

[Lilolme]

If you had ask me what I thought would be the hard part of growing with the past experience I had
- WATERING WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE TOP 100 !!!!!!
But I have been humbled
- as I see countless others have too
My shock is that back in the day we grew DANK, THE KIND !
And out environments sucked !
My environment is great now
- damn the water !
Although I tend to over think, my plants didn’t look bad until I thought they should be doing better and fucked with shit
- not smart on my part !
But humbled amd learning !

Fungus gnats, if I don’t put the sticky cards out and keep em there from day one I will get a horrible gnat infestation, boy did I learn that. Never unhook or try to hang lights over the plants without a safety line attached, boy did I learn that

 

[Lilolme]

Oh and never ever drop a flytrap down into your plants, they are very difficult to remove, boy did I learn that

 

[Lilolme]

Bout 3 weeks or so to go, not much to do but feed and water a few more times, pluck a few leaves along the way. Lookin forward to next dry out that should smell REALLY good

 

[Lilolme]

Cannin maters today, man I would love to have a couple plants stuck in amongst my mater plants. The cuttings I stuck outside are startin to flower

HEY NOW !!!
PVA here (central va)
Nice to see fellow locals getting their grow on
I just join site today but have been reading here for two months
Hope I can gleam some useful info
This shits A LOT different than what we had 30 years ago
- those beans could walk up hill in the snow both ways …….

Welcome. I'm a central VA boy and new to indoors growing myself! Trying autos for the 1st time too! It HAS changed in the last 30 years for sure!

Got more doodads, refining my bondage equipment so I can spread the girls out if only a little. Got a thousand foot roll of paracord, found these coated hooks and some spring loaded cord keepers. Pretty pleased easy to apply and adjust just hook the branch and snug it up to the anchor point which I can put just about anywhere and remove without a trace when I’m done. The main goal with all the grow equipment is zero permanent or damaging fastners but still very strong and convenient

Beautiful plants! NoVa native here and couldn't be more stoked to grow! Love seeing all the fellow VA'ers growing.

Love the bathtub idea too.
I'm at day 13 of flower on my first grow and learning a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Welcome to the farm! Your plants look great, why does everybody that jams live so far away?

Thanks, man!

Idk but that's why I started jamming with myself haha.

 

[Lilolme]

Gettin a few minutes to adjust on em and give em a feedin

 

[Lilolme]

Made some gear and did some circus riggin today, some improvement I think. Still crowded. Had the lights at 14 inches bumped em up to 16 no issues just liked the way some of the lower stuff was perkin up as opposed to the stuff on top, lookin for the sweet spot. 2 or 3 weeks to go I might have a peek at the trics soon. The plants outside really got me wishin the climate was better here I have to move em every evinin to keep the fog from settin on em

Nice job with the DIY tie downs... I see you're improving them with each iteration. How long until we're buying Liloleme hooks from the grow stores?

Looks like you've got some nice separation on the branches there even with those monsters beefing up. I'm sure they'll love you for it, and repay you in "kind."

The plan for the last few weeks is do as little as possible, don’t try anything I have read that’s supposed to “boost” anything, don’t try to do any “flushing” I think thats a bunch of balony, I screw up the timing and have robbed my plants of valuable nutes when they needed them the most. Run it just like I’ve been doin right till the chop

 

[Schwer]

That sounds like a solid plan. Besides, how many threads do we see where people try a little something new and it becomes a disaster?

Way too many, wonder how many times people sellin “gimmicks” have caused more harm than good. Feedin on people’s fear and lack of growing experience of ANY kind makin claims to get it done faster and better. Ask any old timer most of that stuff is just snake oil

 

[Lilolme]

Gettin some brown hairs but still poppin out nice new white ones, believe I’ll slip in another feeding at the next water I’ve been on the weak side at 850 ppm probly drop that some 650 ppm or so. Still got some time. The green crack it is said is ready around 8 weeks the sour diesel may go 10 but the trics will tell. This is a tough part of this decisions decisions. Still doin ok from last time and me bein me I save the best for last

 

[Schwer]

That's a nice amount of "best" you've saved for last. Very nice.

 

[PauliBhoy]

Anyone know if the VBghani is still around? Searching with no luck yet.

I didn’t go crazy cleanin up the nuggets I could reduce it by a couple of jars I just clean it up as I go I don’t mind a little sugar leaf . Trimmin up a lot of weed at once is kind of a pain in the hand
